RemarIss From MIR. Hiegins

Here's a man been working for
the Democratic party ever since he
was allowed to vote When we get
in Democratic Administration he
comes up and asks for one-thous-
and-dollars-a year position. He is
over the Civil Service age-forty-
six, / believe-and can't get it.
Been working for the party ever
since he was of age, and just because
he is forty-seyen years old, when a
man ought to be at his best, he is
ruled out. Pass the examinations
Why, of course he could. But he
amt of Civil Service age. He's
done too lmuch work for the party.
We've got a whole lot of clerks in
the Treasury Department who
never passed a Civil Service exam
nation. About 700 of them are
Republicans. Ask them to be ex-
amined and they throw up their
hands and yell bloody murder.
Every one of those fellows tried
to keep us out, and they'll try it
again If they think there is show
of winning. When a man plays
cards for stakes and wins he wants
the stakes. You can't rid an elect
ion of the offices, no way you try it,
and when the games over the win

TLe Outrage.

The following from the Parkers-
burg Sentinel SO fully embraces our
views and feelings over the convict
ion of Van Baker, up in Hancock
county, that we reproduce it in full:
"The conviction of Van B. Baker
of murder in the first degree is a
verdict so repugnant to a fair com
prehension of the evidence that we
cannot understand why the presi-
ding Judge did not at once grant
him new trial.
'sThe circumstantial evidence
pointing to hisguilt was very strong,
but there was no direct evidence of
facts that rendered the killing by
Baker an impossibiIity. Besides
there was circumstantial evidence
in abundance showing the existence
of uDdisputed facts which were in
consistent with the charge that he
committed the murder
. "Public clamor declared him
guilty and the public cry demanded
his punishment An execrable pre-
vious reputation brought gener-
al suspicion upon him, and the hor-
ror of the situation called for his
death in expatiation of the crime.
The finger of guilt was pointed at
him because he was disIiked by his
neighbors, and was the constant
subject of ugly and unkind com
ments.
aHe may have committed the
crime, but there was no evidence
on his trial that would justify such
a verdict as the jury rendered. The
gentlemen who served on the jury
were honorable and upright citizens,
but they partook of the UNIVERSAL
! prejudice against the defendant
